In South Carolina, some properties are
“unincorporated,” or not in the city limits, even
though they are in the heart of the city. This can
be confusing when unincorporated properties,
or “doughnut holes,” are directly adjacent to
properties in the city limits and must follow
different rules and guidelines. Some Rock Hill
residents are City utility customers, but do not
live in the City limits. By living in the City limits,
you can vote in City Council elections, having
valuable input in choosing city leaders and a voice
in decision-making.

time capsule was buried in front of the building.
The time capsule is to be opened in the year 2092.

Rock Hill earned its name in 1852, when the
Charlotte/Columbia/Augusta Railroad line was
being constructed through the area. Rail crews
encountered a small, flinty hill and dubbed the
spot “Rock Hill.” A U.S. Post Office was established
during that year, marking the official beginning of
the city. The railroad brought business into the
area which thrives as a result. The village was
incorporated in 1892.

THE PARTICIPATING GIS AGENCIES AND THEIR MAPPING CONTRACTORS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE DISPLAYED INFORMATION AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The City Council welcomes the public to all Council meetings, workshops
and hearings. When appropriate, you are encouraged to express your
opinion during these meetings.
Council meetings are typically held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the
month, starting at 6 PM in Council Chambers at City Hall, 155 Johnston
Street, Rock Hill. Agendas are posted to the City website the Friday before
a meeting. Meetings can be watched live online at cityofrockhill.com/
livestream or on the City Channel—Comporium channel 115. Meetings are
also available with video on demand on the city website or on the City
Channel.
On the 2nd Monday of the month, a Citizens’ Hearing is held at 5:30 PM
for people to appear before Council regarding items which are not on
the agenda. No Council action should be expected at this hearing, since
the Council will want to study all proposals or requests before making a
decision. To request to speak at the Citizens Hearing, please call 803-3297013.

zoning and building code approval before opening and the Open for Business Program will assist you with the

Business Licenses
The City Of Rock Hill requires any person or entity engaged in any business, occupation or profession within
City limits as required in the business license ordinance to obtain a business license. “Business” is defined
as a calling, occupation, profession or activity engaged in with the object of gain, benefit or advantage, either
directly or indirectly.
The business license fee is an excise tax levied on the privilege of doing business and is based on the gross
income of a business collected from business done within the City for one calendar year. Business licenses
expire December 31 of each year and must be renewed by April 30 of the following year. The business license
should be displayed at the place of business in a conspicuous location. Mobile or transient businesses should
carry the license with them. A business with a physical location inside the City will also need zoning and
building code approval from the Planning and Development Department for their location before they can
obtain a business license.
The City Of Rock Hill also has two other business taxes:
A 2% Hospitality Tax required for businesses selling food and beverages prepared for immediate consumption.
A 3% Accommodations Tax required for hotels, motels and other businesses providing accommodations.
Visit www.cityofrockhill.com/businesslicense for more information.
Home-Based Businesses
The City Of Rock Hill requires a zoning approval to operate a business from your home called a Home Occupation
Permit. The permit is obtained from the Planning and Development Department. Some smaller scale types of
businesses with little to no impact to neighboring properties may be able to operate a business from home. A
home daycare may be permitted based on certain requirements. For more information visit www.cityofrockhill.
com/zoningapprovalsforbusinesses. Daycares are also required to be registered with the Department of Social
Services (DSS) Child Care Licensing division who can be reached at 803-898-9001.

Housing & Neighborhood Services

First-Time Homebuyers Program
If you’re employed and have never owned a home of your own, or not owned a home within the past three years,
you may qualify for The Housing Development Corporation of Rock Hill’s First Time Homebuyer Program. The
program helps potential buyers by providing education and information about down payments and closing
costs as well as assistance in maneuvering through the basics of buying a home.
Rock Hill’s Housing and Neighborhood Services department holds regular First Time Home Buyer classes that
will help familiarize you with the home buying experience - including maintenance, real estate transactions,
mortgage procedures, and financial health. Our housing counselors will work with you individually on your
journey toward home ownership. Down payment and closing cost assistance are available to qualified buyers.
For more information, call 803-817-5112.
Foreclosure Prevention Assistance
The Housing Development Corporation of Rock Hill has a housing counselor on staff to help City residents who
are experiencing a financial hardship or have fallen behind on mortgage payments.
If you’ve received a notice of foreclosure proceedings or are in need of mortgage loan modification, Housing
Specialist Lois Sanders may be able to help you avoid foreclosure and/or work with you and your lender to allow
you to stay in your home. Lois has a number of resources available to assist homeowners with foreclosure,
default and loan modification concerns.

understanding of how the city is run so they will be able to access
services necessary to maintain and improve their quality of life. The
course is offered during the Spring and Fall and seating is limited. To
sign up or for more information contact Dorene Boular at 803-3252527 or by email at dorene.boular@cityofrockhill.com.
Neighborhood Empowerment

& Neighborhood Services Neighborhood Empowerment division helps
citizens organize their local community and tackle tough issues
such as development, beautification, education and overall quality of
life. Neighborhood Empowerment offers a wide range of services to
help make any neighborhood a better place, all at no cost to you! For
information visit cityofrockhilll.com or call 803-325-2523.

Public Safety & Municipal Court

Police
The Rock Hill Police Department (RHPD) is accredited through CALEA
for Law Enforcement Accreditation. In order to build relationships
with the citizens and businesses we serve, the RHPD patrols in
zones. Currently, there are 10 zones, dividing the city into similarly
sized geographical areas along travel corridors and in neighborhoods.
Officers are assigned to patrol a certain zone during their shift – and
tend to remain on patrol in that zone to enable them to learn the
businesses and residents in that zone, building relationships with the
local community.
The RHPD has long sponsored the Worthy Boys and Girls Summer
Camp, which provides more than 160 children each summer with a
one week camping experience, giving them an opportunity to build
relationships with our officers and see them as mentors, friends, and
leaders out of uniform.

Alarm Permit (see permits page 17)
Fire
In 2015, the Rock Hill Fire Department (RHFD) earned the highest possible recognition when it earned a Class
1 Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The ISO evaluation
process is rigorous, with objective evaluations in four major areas:
• Emergency communication systems—focuses on the community’s facilities and support for handling
and dispatching alarms for structure fires.
• Fire department—focuses on the department’s fire suppression capabilities.
• Water supply—focuses on having an adequate water supply system for fire suppression.
• Community risk reduction—focuses on fire prevention code adoption and enforcement, public fire safety
education and fire investigation.
RHFD has six stations, plus a Headquarters station, which houses administration, logistics, training and a Fire
Museum. Community services include blood pressure checks, free smoke detectors to elderly citizens and low
income households, fire station tours, fire safety inspections, emergency evacuation planning and in-school
mentoring. Visit cityofrockhill.com/fire or call 803-329-7220 for more information.

Permits

Building Permits
The City Of Rock Hill enforces state adopted building codes as well as a zoning ordinance and other municipal
ordinances. These codes and ordinances require a permit to construct, enlarge, repair, move, demolish or
change the occupancy of any building or structure. A permit is also required to erect, install, enlarge, alter,
repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system. Some examples of work
that require a permit would be roofing, siding, windows, finishing a basement, adding a new wall, replacing
a deck or porch, or adding an accessory structure or storage building. A permit should be obtained before
starting any work. The Permit Application Center (PAC) located in the Planning and Development Department
can assist you with the permit application. Permits allow the City to inspect work performed and make sure
it’s safe and meets the minimum standards of the building code.
Any contractor doing work in Rock Hill is required to have a state contractor’s license issued by SCLLR as well
as a City Of Rock Hill business license. The contractor will not be able to obtain a permit without these licenses.
To protect yourself, always hire a licensed contractor. You can contact the PAC at 803-329-5590 to verify a
contractor has the proper licenses.
In addition to building permits, there are several other types of zoning permits that may be needed. A Fence
Permit is required to install a fence. A Home Occupation Permit is required to use your home address as your
place of business. A Zoning and Building Code Compliance permit is required to open, relocate or change the
occupancy of a business. Signs also require permits. Any exterior changes to a property in the Historic District
require approval and a building permit may be required.
For more information about permits visit www.cityofrockhill.com/PAC.
Yard Sale/Garage Sale Permit
Yard Sale permits are free and issued through the Customer Service Department. You can fill out the Yard Sale

Commercial Photography
The City receives many requests for photo shoots and video filming at public locations. In order to ensure
fairness, we’ve established guidelines and a process for identifying professional photographers/videographers
to our staff. If you are a commercial photographer (earn money from taking photos) and anticipate photography
projects that will take place at City facilities, please complete a Commercial Photography/Videographer Permit
Application at no charge.
Commercial photographers using City facilities are to show proof of insurance and City business license.
We will issue a lanyard ID within three business days of receipt of your completed application and required
paperwork. For more information visit cityofrockhill.com/commercialphotography. To schedule a photo shoot
at a PRT facility, please call 803-329-5620.
Special Events
Special events are held on a regular basis in the City of Rock Hill and are sponsored by a variety of City
departments and community groups. In order to ensure the health and safety of all citizens, the City of Rock
Hill has an established policy for requesting approval of a special event held on public property.

16

Groups must complete an application that includes specific information about the event, including date, time,
place, number of participants, etc. Once the application is returned, the Special Event Committee, comprised
of representatives from each department, will review the request and make a recommendation for approval or
denial. If approved, a Memorandum of Understanding will be drafted detailing the responsibilities of all parties
involved and will serve as the special event permit.
With any special event, public safety and risk management are top priorities for the City to consider. The Special
Event Committee defers to the Police, Fire and Risk Management Departments and to the City Manager for a
final determination in the approval of an event. Visit cityofrockhill.com or call 803-329-7016 for information
about the special event application.
Filming/Photo Shoot
If you are planning a prolonged video or photo shoot using public streets, sidewalks and rights-of-way, please
complete the filming/photo shoot registration form. This ensures staff are aware of the event and can answer
resident questions accurately. If requested filming/photography shoot requires substantial city services, road
closures or a large number of participants, please complete the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full Special Event Application.
Security Alarm Registration
City ordinance requires all Security Alarm Systems in the city limits be registered with the Rock Hill Police
Department. Since passing of the Alarm ordinance, false alarms have been reduced by 20%. By reducing false
alarms, police are able to spend more time responding to calls for service and to be proactive with community
policing.
Because alarm users and designated contacts can change frequently, especially with businesses, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important
to update your contact info on at least a yearly basis. Users must renew their alarm registration annually. If
you have not contacted the Rock Hill Police Department to update your application, please do so before your
alarm permit expires.
If you have any questions about the False Alarm Ordinance, or about obtaining or renewing alarm permits,
please contact the RHPD Alarm Coordinator at 803-329-7200.

Zoning & Inspections

Every property in the City is assigned a zoning district. Each zoning district allows certain types of land uses,
and prohibits other types. This helps ensure that compatible land uses are located near each other.
The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zoning Ordinance is the set of regulations that govern all of the different land uses in the City. It
covers many different topics for both residents and businesses, and is available on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.
Common zoning topics in neighborhoods include parking, storage buildings and carports, fences, home-based
businesses, and real estate signs.
Public Notices (Orange Signs)
The orange signs you may see posted around town in various places show information about an upcoming
public hearing. This could be related to a rezoning request, variance request, change to a historic property or
other request to a board or commission that requires a public hearing. You can visit www.cityofrockhill.com/
planinfo for more information about any upcoming hearings. You can also call the public hearing hotline at
803-325-2599.
Parking Standards for Homes
The City Of Rock Hill has adopted a zoning ordinance which has parking standards for your home. Vehicles are
required to be located in a vehicular use area which means vehicles cannot be parked on grassy areas in the
front yard. The maximum number of vehicles allowed in a vehicular use area located within 60 feet of the edge
of the right-of-way is three.
There are also standards for storage or parking of recreation equipment including boats, boat trailers, camping
trailers, recreational vehicles, and motorized homes. These items cannot be parked or stored in the front yard
or in front of a dwelling. They also cannot be parked or stored for longer than 72 hours in any side or rear yard
that is immediately adjacent to a street or public right-of-way. Recreation equipment must also be parking in a
vehicular use area and not on grassy areas.
Your neighborhood may also have covenants and restrictions related to parking as well so check with your
homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association.
